Today I have a tiny little book to show you. I made this for VivaLasVegaStamps! but that was not exactly planned that way.
Sometimes I just fancy doing something different and one day I made a little booklet from one sheet of 12' x 12' paper. It was lying on my desk when I thought to cover the outside of it in fabric and next to add gesso to the cover and the pages too. Before I knew it I had stencilled, stamped and doodled on the pages and this little book was born ! I love it and will make more !
Here is the outside. If you want to make one of these books; there are lots of tutorials on the internet and youtube. Just look for 'book from one sheet of 12 x 12 paper'.
There are 8 double spread mini art journals in this book and here are the photos.
Spread no. 1
I used an UmWow Studio stencil and Distress Oxides for this.

What a fabulous little book - must search out this technique. It must be in the air now, as I did had some friends in to play with mini accordion books, and that was a ton of fun too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous book Corrie Love these little books I made lots of them with photos when my grandson was little. I am just in the process of making one from paper bags not sure it will get finished this side of Christmas though. Thanks for sharing, love your use of stencils and stamps.

What a fantastic artsy little book, Corrie - I love the rough and ready gesso'd pages and fabulous stamping and doodling on every page. The fabric cover is just lovely.

I don't even have words for my love for this journal/album! I am crazy over your loose artsy style, the layering of gesso & DOX over kraft and the fantastic combinations of stamped imagery with quotes/sentiments. This is incredible and I'm so pleased that you shared with us at Mini Album Makers. Hugs, Autumn
